There are 3 tens in 230 and 23 tens in 230. They are both right. Explain how can that be so?

Respuesta :

There are 3 tens in 230 and 23 tens in 230. They are both right

In number 230

2 is in hundreds place

3 is in tens place

and 0 is in ones place

so we can say 3 is in tens place

In number 230,

23 times 10 = 230

So we can says 23 tens is in 230

Hence 3 is in tens place in 230  and 23 tens in 230 are same

3 tens in 230 and 23 tens in 230 are not same .


Numbers can be represented as place values such as tens, units, hundreds

Both claims are right

3 tens in 230

230 can be split as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{230 = 200 + 30}[/tex]

Express 30 as 3 * 10

[tex]\mathbf{230 = 200 + 3 \times 10}[/tex]

Express 10 as ten

[tex]\mathbf{230 = 200 + 3 \times Ten}[/tex]

So, it means that, there are 3 tens in 230.

The tens here mean the place value of 30

23 tens in 230

This means that:

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{230}{23}}[/tex]

Divide

[tex]\mathbf{\frac{230}{23} = 10}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]\mathbf{230= 23 \times 10}[/tex]

Express 10 as Ten

[tex]\mathbf{230= 23 \times Ten}[/tex]

So, it means that, there are 23 in ten places in 230.

The tens here mean the count of 23s in 230

Hence, both claims are true
